### Mr. Chang,
Air Permits Division staff of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality reviewed the information y ou sent on 2/12/13 related to specific plants in Texas. The f ollowing responses are based on the information we were able to obtain from our permits database and from specific permits that were reviewed.

1. The facilities listed on the "R6 LA and TX Facility List - State 020413.xlsx" and "R6 LA and TX Facili ty List - MACT 020413.xlsx" spreadsheets for Texas are still activ e sites.

2. The facility listed on the “R6 Data Request for TX and LA-OSWRO Facilities” for Texas is not subject t o OSWRO due to the fact the facility does not meet the appl icability criteria in 63.680(a)(2).

3. A very quick search of our permits database did not find any permitted facilities that are subject to the federal OSWRO requirements. Substantial research would be required to verify applicability based on reviews o f numerous case by case permits.

Please let us know if you have any questions or nee d any additional information.

**Allen,**

**I am writing to request Region 6's assistance with contacting state agencies in Louisiana and Texas fo**  **r data review and limited information gathering. For several chemical**  **sector risk and technology review rules, we have i dentified LA and TX**  **as "key" states. This e-mail requests data review a nd information related to these RTR source categori**  **es. The first group of source categories includes:** 

**Polycarbonates Production (PC) Polymers and Resins III (P&RIII)**  **Pesticide Active Ingredient (PAI) Polyether Polyols Production (PEPO)**  **Polymers and Resins IV (P&RIV)**

**We would like Region 6 to request that the states r eview the records in the attached files ("R6 LA and**  **TX Facility List - State 020413.xlsx" and "R6 LA and TX Facility List**  **- MACT 020413.xlsx" contain identical records, they a**  **re just organized differently) to ensure that they are accurate and t**  **hat all facilities in each source category from eac h listed state are**  **included. The files include data records for each f acility that come from the 2005 National Emissions**  **Inventory (NEI) and have already been reviewed by EPA to the best of ou**  **r ability, but the states may have additional infor mation regarding**  **these facilities. Note that these records only conta in entries at each facility for the source categori**  **es of interest; whole facility emissions are not included in these files,**  **and we are not requesting review of our informatio n regarding processes**  **in other source categories at these facilities. Als o, we are not requesting newer information, but rat**  **her, trying to ensure that we have correctly portrayed the information fr**  **om the 2005 NEI. However, if facilities in the list have shut down, we**  **ask that an indication be made to that effect. The "R6 LA and TX Facility List - State 020413.xlsx" f**  **ile has separate tabs for each state, and the "R6 LA and TX Facility List**  **- MACT 020413.xlsx" file has separate tabs for eac h source category**  **(please note that the tabs "PS" and "SAN" are part of the Polymers and Resins IV MACT category).** 3 **The other source category that we are requesting as sistance with is the Off-site Waste Recovery Operat**  **ions (OSWRO, subpart DD) source category. The type of assistance**  **requested is quite different for OSWRO. Specifical ly, we are**  **requesting that for the facilities listed, by state , in the attached spreadsheet "R6 Data Request for**  **TX and LA- OSWRO Facilities with Unquantified OSWRO Emissions.xlsx"**  **that each state review the facility or facilities l isted and provide the**  **following:**

• **Is the facility subject to OSWRO?**

• **Details on the processes covered, including any em issions estimates and other emissions information.** 

•

• **If there are any other facilities in LA or TX subj ect to OSWRO, we are requesting a list of the facil**  **ities along with operating permits.** 

**Please let me know if you have any questions regard ing this request.** 

**We are requesting that any information be submitted by March 8, 2013. Thanks for your help!**
